Furry Leg Warmers

Instructions
1. Use two strands of yarn as one (one strand of Lemon and one strand of Spring Green). E wrap (wrapping loops on pegs that look like series of lowercase cursive es) two times around loom and knit off (pulling bottom loop over top loop and off peg).
2. Knit 10 rows and carefully reach inside loom and place loops from first row back over pegs. This makes brim or cuff for top of leg warmer. Knit this row.
3. Continue knitting until leg warmer is total of 14" long (or desired length).
4. Using crochet hook, take first two loops off loom and pull second loop through first. Continue on around to take all loops off loom this way.

Here are some additional views of the neck pillow pattern. These were loomed by Barbie Martin.
The first is done with 2 strands of medium (4) weight yarn. Barbie notes that it still looked a bit thin, so she added one strand of fun fur and came up with the lovely pillow below:
